History
The restaurant was opened on September 11, 2012, costing $17 million.[1] The buffet won "Best Buffet" by USA Today in 2012 and 2013. It was also rated by the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2013 and Las Vegas Weekly in 2013 and 2015.[3][4]
The buffet was expanded to offer whole fish options including Norwegian mackerel and New Zealand tai snapper.[5]
The restaurant, along with the rest of Caesars Entertainment's properties, was closed on March 17, 2020, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On April 21, the restaurant "filed paperwork" for an unspecified renovation in response to challenges posed by the pandemic.[6] The Los Angeles Times reported that the buffet will no longer be self-serve, with staff serving all food instead.[7] The buffet reopened May 2021 as a fully self-service buffet.[8]
